Case Study: LKQ Europe achieves unified spare-parts inventory across 20 countries with Syncron Inventory

LKQ Europe Unifies its Spare Parts Inventory Across 20 Countries

LKQ Europe, the aftermarket spare-parts arm of LKQ Corporation serving 20 European countries with 1,400 branches and a catalog of some 40 million unique parts, struggled with fragmented inventory data, disparate planning tools and inconsistent KPIs after growth through acquisitions. To harmonize processes, gain a single view of inventory and improve productivity across its network, LKQ Europe selected Syncron and implemented Syncron Inventory as its system of record.

Syncron used Syncron Inventory to centralize planning and inventory data across brands and geographies, enabling unified product management, virtual inventory planning, automated optimization and cross‑country demand aggregation. The Syncron solution delivered measurable gains — improved forecasting accuracy, optimized resource and supplier allocation, higher availability and fill rates, and a better customer experience — while Syncron’s learning and change-management support accelerated adoption as LKQ expands the rollout.
